The UC school had a total of 10 campuses established throughout California, starting with the first Berkeley campus in 1868, the Davis campus in 1905 and most recently the Merced campus in 2005. It is called UCLA because it has a campus in LA, UC Irvine for schools in the Irvine area, and UC Davis for campuses in the Davis area.

These campuses are in the form of branch schools, but each campus has its own personality and each has its own individuality by exerting its academic independence to the fullest. As of the fall semester of 2022, a total of 280,000 students are enrolled in these 10 campuses, with more than 22,000 faculty members.
